@whitestu So all the racket was piston slap then? Reason I ask is because my Zetec makes a similar sound, but MUCH MUCH quieter than this. It doesn't really worry me...you almost have to really be listening to hear it, and it can only be heard at idle/low RPM's...at least that I can notice. Got the car with 48K miles on it and it now has 110K...it has made this noise as long as I've owned it. NEVER uses a drop of oil, and oil is super clean when drained for changes, which is fine by me! LOL

Thanks
I replaced it with a 2.0 Zetec.

Ouch. That's piston slap that. Little ends have gone. Had it happen to an XR4x4 I had which made it sound like a diesel tranny van :)

Yes, the noise was piston slap. There was very obvious wear when I took it apart, but it ran perfectly and didn't use oil or smoke!
No idea what mileage it had done.

Good grief...is it even idling fast enough to build up oil pressure? :(

@dshmechanic , yes, the oil pressure was good, just one of the bores / pistons that was damaged.
